美女圣诞节喜气洋洋内有乾坤

　　获得第24届圣丹斯电影节剧情片类评委会大奖的《雷管》，讲述的是四位合作者出于兴趣发明了一台查错仪器，却意外地发现这台仪器拥有强大的商业价值，最终四人相互争斗的局面。《雷管》是导演什恩-卡鲁斯(ShaneCaruth)首次执导的剧情长片，该片由他自己投资，并身兼编剧、导演、主演数职，体现出独立电影的“DIY”精神。另外，令人津津乐道的是该片不足7000美元的超低制作成本，只相当于一辆富康车的价钱……

 故事发生在中世纪的英格兰，安妮和她专横跋扈的婆婆莫温在社会边缘挣扎求生。然而，当安妮过去的一位故人从战场归来，一位神秘骑士的出现似乎预示着诅咒的降临，并威胁着她们所有人的命运。

　　Sheila Hood is an ex-cop whose marriage is on the rocks. Rather than confronting her husband about an affair, she hides surveillance cameras in her home and watches his transgressions, becoming a voyeur of her own life. Her husband, Tom Kale, is an ornithologist who begins an affair with an ex-girlfriend, Merle James, whose beauty and fragility echoes that of the birds he studies. Ray Starling, the charismatic owner of a boutique hotel, is Merle’s lover, and has dealings with her father, Mr James, a powerful oil baron who operates in the shadows but whose influence touches the whole city. Merle’s younger sister, Hazel, is also drawn to Tom, but trapped in Starling’s web of power. Calvin is an cop whose loyalty to his ex partner, Hood, is tested when mounting evidence from her own surveillance tapes connects her and Tom to Starling’s murder, and perhaps even Merle’s mysterious death.
